David Craig -Rise and fall
金曲推荐:
all the way/rise and fall/seven days/unbelievable/johnny/walking away/
Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,
一生中你会感到万事大吉的时候，不再需要据理力争了
And it seems as though the writings on the wall,
就像写在墙上的大字那般錾钉截铁
Superstar you finally made it,(就像)你最终成了巨星
But once your picture becomes tainted,但是一旦你的照片变成了污染(借义：巨星也会过时)
It's what they call,这就是人们说的
The rise and fall艺海沉浮(人生起落)
I always said that I was gonna make it,我常说你会成功的
Now it's plain for everyone to see,现在大家都有目共睹了吧
But this game I'm in don't take no prisoners,但是这个我所参与的游戏没有俘虏
Just casualties,有的只是伤亡
I know that everything is gonna change,我知道所有的事情都会改变
Even the friends I knew before me go,即使是我所认识的在我之前很红的朋友
But this dream is the life I've been searching for,但是这是我一生所追寻的梦想
Started believing that I was the greatest,一开始就相信自己是最棒的
My life was never gonna be the same,我的人生曾经与众不同
Cause with the money came a different status,伴随着钱达到一种不同的状态
That's when things change,这就是事情变化的开端
Now I'm too concerned with all the things I own,现在我太关心所拥有的事情
Blinded by all the pretty girls I see,被美女迷惑的双眼
I'm beginning to lose my integrity开始失去自我
repeat
I never used to be a troublemaker,我向来不是爱捣蛋的家伙
Now I don't even wanna please the fans,现在我甚至不想取悦歌迷们
No autographs,没有签名
No interviews,没有见面会
No pictures,没有造型
And less demands,(歌曲/唱片)销售量也下降了
Given advice that was clearly wrong,所给的建议都是明摆着错的(制作人开始瞎糊弄了)
The type that seems to make me feel so right,这个角色看起来使我感觉很对
But some things you may find can take over your life,但是你会发现有些事情能够改变你的一生
Burnt all my bridges now I've run out of places,我现在可以毫无保留地告诉你江郎才已尽
And there's nowhere left for me to turn,咸鱼没有了返生的余地了
Been caught in comprimising situations,被困在了进退两难的状况中
I should have learnt,我应该学到了什么
From all those times I didn't walk away,从那些我不曾走开日子中，
When I knew that it was best to go,当我知道那就是曾经最走红的时候，
Is it too late to show you the shape of my heart,一切告白已经太迟
repeat
Now I know,现在我知道
I made mistakes,我犯以为自己并不在意过错误
Think I don't care,以为自己并不在意
But you don't realise what this means to me,如果你不是不知道这对我于的意义
So let me have,那么让我拥有(一次机会)，
Just one more chance,仅仅一次
I'm not the man I used to be,我不再是以前的那个我了
repeat

歌手介绍
A hot new signing to Wildstar, Craig David is setting an exciting new standard for UK talent and the world. Imagine the results of the combined influences of a youth spent listening to Hip Hop and R'n'B while being witness to the emergence of the UK's vibrant new garage scene. At only 19 years of age multi-talented Craig is the cream of a new breed of artist emerging.
Hailing from Southampton Craig spent most of his younger days with his notebook and pen in hand, scribbling his lyrics while laying down melodies on his dictaphone. He often slipped the protective eye of his mum, venturing out to indulge in his favorite past time: music. At 14 years of age Craig was MC-ing on his local pirate station, PCRS 106.5FM as well as at the biggest clubs in his area eventually moving onto the decks himself. His set was R'n'B but he soon found himself pulled to the energy of the garage room by the heavy reggae baselines and +8 accelerated tempo's. It was here that he teamed up with Mark Hill (one half of the Artful Dodger crew) his music began to evolve. Craig's material had already made it onto the shelves after his mother had pushed him into entering a national writing competition, which he won. Given only the music, Craig put the finishing touches to 'I'm Ready' the B-side of Damages No:3 chart hit 'Wonderful Tonight'. He had began working in the studio travelling up to London every weekend it was here that he recorded his first record, 'Human' his R'n'B infused version of the Human League hit...........
